UConn head coach Bob Diaco and #10 Chandler Whitmer celebrate after their 19-16 win on September 6, 2014 at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT.

It’s never been about UConn Huskies football coach Bob Diaco. It never has and never will be.

It’s all about the University of Connecticut, the students, the student-athletes, alumni,football alumni and fans to him.
